With Thanksgiving right around the corner, here's a reminder of foods to keep away from your pets: Onions and garlic can be toxic. Animal bones can splinter and cause harm to the digestive tract. Bouillon is high in sodium and can upset the stomach. Pies and baked goods are rich and can cause pancreatitis. If you want to indulge, just add a little turkey to their regular food for a tasty treat, and stay away from all the sides and desserts. Happy Thanksgiving!

We Need Your Help! On October 30th we had our spay/neuter van service running. While in route to pick the animals up from the clinic, our van was involved in an accident. The van was totaled and our volunteers suffered injuries mainly from the airbags deploying. Luckily no animals were on the van. The other driver was issued a citation for fault. However, she was driving a rental car with no insurance. We have a fight ahead of us to collect insurance money. In the meantime, we are without reliable transportation. We are looking for a low mileage, newer year used commercial van. We are raising funds to purchase one. If you have the inside scoop on an available vehicle, please let us know. And if you can help with funds, we would be forever grateful. Donations are tax deductible.
